Logo design - I

Here in my home town of Morley we have a wicked good rugby team called Morley Rugby Football Club. Walking past their ground and their practice fields like I do everyday to get to my garden I notice something. There is this big black wall at the back of somebody's garden that I never really noticed before.

I have recently watched Banksy's documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop...



...It's a documentary based on this French guy who basically stumbles upon and follows a few street artists. Within the documentary it shows these street artists creating and putting up their pieces in various locations. Throughout the whole documentary it shows the artists using some kind of adhesive paste to post massive prints on walls and on the sides of buildings. When I saw this I thought I would like to have a go, then when I saw the black wall at the end of the field near my house I instantly wanted to post something on it.

I was thinking, how could I tie this in with the comm tech II project. I have never really tried creating logos within Illustrator before. So I went on the tinterweb and directed my self to the Morley Rugby Club website to have a gander...



...My initial idea is to re-design this logo that I found on their website. I noticed that that logo is basically the Morley crest...



...I think if I take a few aspects from the crest and put them into my logo I should hopefully create something quite interesting.
